Patented Sept. 12, 1916.

Application filed February 10, 1914. Serial No. 817,876.

1 0 all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, FERDINAND H. MAU- cnn, a citizen of the United States, residing at St. Louis, in the State of Missouri, have invented new and useful Improvements in Chairs, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to chairs and one of the principal objects of the invention is to provide a chair, stool or similar article with an integrally cast seat frame and back frame with seat and back members removably arranged therein so that they may be conveniently removed when necessary.

Another object of the invention is to provide a device of this character with a stand ard which may be attached directly to the floor and with a spider pivotally or otherwise connected to the standard and directlyconnected to the underneath side of the seat.

Further objects of the invention will appear as the following description is read in connection with the accompanying drawing, which forms a part of this application, and in which Figure l is a perspective view. Fig. 2 is a detail vertical sectional View. Fig. 3 is a detail horizontal sectional view.

Referring'more particularly to the drawing, 1 represents a standard which is provided with a suitable flaring base which may be attached to the floor or other support by screws or any other suitable manner. The standard is provided with a socket 2 in its upper end in which is entered the depending pivot stud 3 of the seat frame supporting spider l. The seat frame is indicated at 5 and is provided with a plurality of inwardly projecting lugs 6 formed at a point substantially medially thereof and to which the ends of the spider 4 are attached. These lugs 6 also form limiting stops for supporting the cane seat frame 8 which is made to fit the seat frame 5 and is provided at its upper edge with an overhanging flange 9 which acts in the capacity of a trim strip, the lugs 6 are disposed below and in superposed relation with the flange 9 and the flanged seat frame being reposed upon the flange 9 of the frame and disposing the lower edge of the seat in contact with the projecting lug 6.

Rising from the seat frame 5 and formed integrally therewith is a back 10 made in skeleton form and having an inwardly extending flange 11 arranged to receive the cane frame 12 which is held in place flush with the frame 10 by means of the screws 13. Both cane frames 8 and 12 have canes secured there-across, as shown at 14, of the usual type.

Vhat is claimed is In a device of the class described, a metallic seat frame having its upper edge bent inwardly to provide an overhanging annular circular flange, a plurality of inwardly projecting relatively spaced lugs formed integral with the inner side face of the frame at a point substantially medially thereof, and in superposed relation with the flange, a flange seat, the flange of the seat being loosely reposed upon the flange 0f the frame and the lower edge of the seat being disposed in contact with the lugs, a spider, and means for detachably connecting the spider to the under face of each of the lugs.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
